“Lawless Justice Department” Refuses to Enforce Law
Fox: “When the U.S. Civil Rights Commission subpoenaed Justice Department lawyers to obtain their testimony in its investigation of the improper dismissal of the New Black Panther voter intimidation case, DOJ didn’t just refuse to enforce the subpoenas – the lawyers were told to ignore the subpoenas and not comply with them. If potential witnesses had ignored a Justice Department subpoena, they would have quickly found themselves in jail as prosecutors moved against them for contempt. . . . Perhaps in Lerner’s case, Machen and Justice Department prosecutors will actually live up to their professional obligations and ethical duties to comply with the law. But excuse us if we have our doubts based on their prior history, a history that is an embarrassment to the prior high traditions of professionalism and nonpartisanship of the Justice Department.”

UPDATE: Civil trial set in NM Democratic primary voter fraud suit
New Mexico State Rep. Mary Helen Garcia will receive a civil trial on her claim that voter fraud cost her the June 3 Democratic primary election. “Garcia, D-Las Cruces, lost to Bealquin Gomez by 16 votes, 410 to 394.” Gomez is vice chairman of the Doña Ana County Democratic Party. “In a lawsuit challenging the results, Garcia alleges at least 17 instances in which signatures by voters on absentee ballots did not match the signatures on their registration forms. She said her claim was based on conclusions by a forensic handwriting analyst.” The Doña Ana County clerk said “most of the absentee ballots sent by mail came from Sunland Park,” which has a history of fraudulent voting.

Success of Mississippi Voter ID “muddles” debate
ID opponents are befuddled by the success of voter ID – where is all the “voter suppression” they keep predicting? The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi – a staunch opponent of the voter ID requirement – was ready to spend June 3 fielding complaints from voters turned away at the polls. As it turns out, they received no such complaints, an ACLU employee told CBS News… Shortly after the implementation of a voter photo ID law in Georgia, there was record turnout in the 2008 presidential primary election, with double the number of African-Americans voting than in 2004 – when there was no voter photo ID law in place.
“Two Peas in a Pod”
From Rush Limbaugh Show today:
RUSH: If I had to guess, this Regime is smart enough to know that they’re not gonna put these kinds of instructions where they can be found by people. In other words: Fast and Furious. I guarantee you there is not a paper trail between Obama and Eric Holder about that. They talked about it maybe somewhere, or they had a third party/a liaison do it. I asked J. Christian Adams, who used to be in the justice department.
I said, “Can you walk three me through it? Because obviously you’ve got like-minded people. You got Obama; he puts Holder in there. They have the same objective where the Department of Justice is concerned. How does Holder find out what Obama wants done?” Adams told me, “He doesn’t need to find out. He already knows. They’re two peas in a pod. That’s why Holder’s there. He doesn’t need marching orders.”
